Re: JC on Baravia

Out there in Kraut Land a mild revolution has been taking place in boat production. If you can design a boat like a bathtub it therefore stands to reason that you can turn it out at the same speed and for pretty much the same price. So german thinking goes.
The new Baravia 36 is not a bathtub tho it is a jacuzzi. There is room for more people inside than your average shanks and more toys inside than a fisher price factory.
You may recall that Fisher Price brought us the 'weebles' and 'my first kitchen'. It is here that Baravia seem to have drawn inspiration. Whilst the kitchen in the Baravia is capacious and well kitted out with a fridge cum ice maker and micorwave option it is unfortunately stored inside a hull with all the directional stability of a weeble.
Blow anything more than 15 knots across the deck and the whole thing inverts throwing your g and t out of its holder and causing you car dealer friend's wife to loose all colour despite her St Tropez tan.
It may be all well and good having all that room in the cabins for your loius vuitton luggage but it makes no sense to go the same shade as green each time the windpipes up.
This is a boat that screams med. It is a floating hospitality tent for senior managers who want to go boating without actually putting to sea. It has to be remembered that this boat is from a nation whose navy was more famous for 'Das Boots' that travelled under the water rather than on top. Obviously the Baravia has sorted the accomodation slightly betterthan Das Boot, althought there is still the same feeling of trepidation that you may not make it back in one piece.
There is a nav table.; It will fit a fully opened out Road atlas of great britain and it is close enough to the companion way steps that the crew donot have to travel too far to fetch their sunglasses and cream that will no doubt live under the lid.
On the straight the boat acheives 0-6 knots in 3 minutes, under engine of course.
The sails only come in one colour. There is a choice of beige or blue interior. Leather steering wheel is standard, pushpit seats extra. There are 2 bathrooms and a shower on the back. Ropes are optional.
So if your are more interested in your cocktails than your cockpit this boat is for you.
